Opposite Lock Club

[Kevinharris]

Used to be a member of the Opposite Lock for a number of years in the mid 1970s. A great club. She t many happy hours there on Thursday, Friday's and Saturday nights. Was a proud owner of an Opposite Lock car sticker which was displayed on my TR7.
Happy Days

Hippie Tramp party - Halloween. It says come dressed as a hippie, for one night only ! As I remember the club on other nights, it would have been 'smarter' dress.

Loved the place. Only a member for a year or two while I lived in Solihull (1969-1971).
Had some fantastic times there. I seem to recall a minimal Count Basie band
playing there one night and a couple of other memorable people who's names I can't recall.
Subsequently moved to Coventry and a couple of years later, moved back down south.
A year or so later, we were devastated when The Tavern in the Town and the Mulberry Bush were bombed.
We used to go to one or the other every Saturday for lunch.
Still love Birmingham, but it's been 50+ years since, but I still have a soft spot for it.
Good luck Brum.
